Apple Pecan Tuna Salad - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 small granny smith apple, unpeeled cored and chopped
1 tablespoon lemon juice (or however much needed to coat apple pieces)
1 (5 ounce) can tuna fish, drained (do not use foil packaged, too fishy)
2 celery ribs, cleaned and chopped
1 tablespoon onion, grated (sweet kind is best)
5 tablespoons mayonnaise (we like the flavor and texture of \"Real\" better than \"Lite\")
1/4 cup pecans, coarsely chopped (optional)
1 pinch sugar, to taste
1 pinch salt, to taste
12 slices whole wheat bread, sandwich sliced

Preparation

Chop unpeeled Granny Smith (or any tart, crunchy apple -- Fuji and Gala are also good).
Sprinkle lemon juice (fresh or bottled) over apples and toss to coat evenly.
Add drained tuna fish and flake, mixing with apples.
Add celery, onion, and mayonnaise. Amount of mayonnaise may be adjusted according to texture preference. More crumbly (less mayonnaise) is better to eat with a fork on a lettuce leaf. More \"pastey\" texture is better for sandwiches.
Taste, and add a pinch of sugar and salt if needed. (Some apples require a tiny bit of sugar).
